Abstract

An auto-tracking method and apparatus of a helical scan type magnetic recording/reproducing apparatus wherein envelope levels of reproduced signals are detected and the running phase of a magnetic tape is controlled so that the envelope level of the reproduced signal becomes maximum after detection is effected roughly and then finely, thereby allowing a video head to scan a track on the magnetic tape.
